"Life  at  La  Salle  College" 


Beautiful  La  Salle!  Expanding  La  Salle!  Indeed  there  is  a  sure  reason  for 
her  existence.  The  external  beauty  which  reflects  life  at  La  Salle  College  is 
only  a  means  used  in  attaining  our  ultimate  end.  The  theme  of  the  1956 
EXPLORER  centers  around  the  "Imitation  of  Christ"  by  Thomas  a  Kempis. 
The  author  tells  us  how  our  end  can  be  reached:  ".  .  .  he  who  would  fully 
and  feelingly  understand  the  words  of  Christ,  must  study  to  make  his  whole  life 
conformable  to  that  of  Christ."

A  man  in  a  white  robe,  designated  as  the  new 
chaplain  to  the  La  Salle  College  student  body, 
began  his  residence  here  in  January,  195  3.  The 
tall,  lanky,  bespectacled  Dominican  is  in  the  per- 
son of  Rev.  Mark  Heath,  O.P.,  a  religiously-de- 
voted and  humorous  Bostonian. 

The  arrival  of  Father  Heath  brought  with  it  an 
abundance  of  religious  activities.  A  constant  flow 
of  Masses,  Communions,  Benedictions  and  Confes- 
sions were  continually  at  our  disposal  for  our  spir- 
itual betterment.  Moreover,  Father  Heath,  as  a 
teacher  of  philosophy  and  full-time  counselor, 
never  bothered  to  utter  a  sigh  about  his  numerous 
duties.      His    time    was    given    unselfishly    to   the 


students.  It  was  not  unusual  to  see  him  talking 
to  a  group  of  boys  while  bidding  the  time  of  day 
to  others,  for  his  repertoire  of  names  appeared  un- 
limited. 

To  Father  Mark  Heath,  we,  the  Class  of  '56, 
dedicate  the  1956  EXPLORER.  The  guidance 
and  inspiration  which  he  has  shed  upon  us  can 
ne'er  be  forgotten. 

We  have  utilized  the  exhortation  of  Thomas 
a  Kempis  in  the  "Imitation  of  Christ"  when  he 
said:  "Consult  with  a  wise  and  conscientious  man, 
and  seek  rather  to  be  instructed  by  one  who  is 
better  than  to  follow  thine  own  inventions." 


Under  this  ivy-shrouded  cove  pass  the 
Christian  Brothers  on  their  journey  to 
and  from  classes.  The  three  storied 
building  is  the  home  of  the  Brothers  at 
LaSalle  College.

College  Hall  with  its  sturdy  tower 
personifies  LaSalle.  The  heart  of  the 
college,  this  building  houses  the  ad- 
ministration, faculty^  classrooms,  and 
laboratories. 


Members  of  the  Class  of   1956: 

It  is  with  a  sense  of  pleasure  that  I  write 
this  word  of  congratulations  and  encourage- 
ment to  you,  the  members  of  the  class  of  '56, 
for  your  capable  leadership  and  with  a  sense 
of  gratitude  for  the  many  worthy  lessons 
you  have  left  us. 

The  leadership  and  inspiration  of  the  class 
of  '56  lifted  many  above  the  status  of 
ordinary  students  extremely  conservative 
about  their  own  capacities  and  ever  fear- 
ful to  assume  responsibilities.  You  were 
intelligent  and  mature  enough  to  see  signifi- 
cant relationships  between  academic  interests 
and  social  activities  and  as  a  result  taught 
many  that  studies  must  not  remain  un- 
motivated and  campus  activities  irrespons- 
ible and  uninformed. 

It  is  my  sincere  hope  that  you  will  con- 
tinue to  be  leaders  among  the  worthy  citi- 
zens of  the  city  of  man  so  that  one  day  you 
will  "live"  among  the  privileged  citizens  of 
the  city  of  God. 

Sincerely, 

Brother   Daniel   Bernian,   F.S.C. 
(Vice-President) 


Brother  E.  Stanislaus,  F.S.C,  Ph.D. 
President 


A  Message  from  the  President: 

"...  I  wish  to  take  advantage  of  this 
opportunity  to  compliment  the  students  for 
the  magnificent  manner  in  which  the  activ- 
ities of  the  school  year  have  been  carried 
out  to  date.  Such  functions  as  the  Har- 
vest Dance,  the  R.O.T.C.  Ball,  the  Mili- 
tary Mass  on  the  Feast  of  St.  Barbara,  the 
productions  of  the  Masque,  the  religious  ac- 
tivities sponsored  by  the  Benilde  Club,  the 
Fine  Arts  exhibits — it  is  understandably  im- 
possible to  list  all  —  have  been  carried 
through  in  a  manner  highly  complimentary 
to  the  students  and  very  satisfying  to  the 
faculty.  This  is  indicative  of  a  seriousness 
and  dignity  of  purpose  which  is  laudatory. 
Brother  E.  Stanislaus,  F.S.C."

nus on  duty  in  Korea,  La  Salle 
students  flooded  the  Library 
Lounge  "with .  last  year's  jackets 
and  forgotten  suits.  These  three 
determined  gentlemen  made  use 
of  every  cubic  inch,  trying  to 
make  the  ROK  winter  a  bit  easier 
for  a  fe^w  people.

different  sort  of  craming.  Lt.  Bob  Schaeffer,  past

expressed  the  appreciation  of  the  recipients  "which

formed  in  1949,  acts  as  the  official  representative 
of  the  student  body  to  the  faculty  and  adminis- 
tration. The  purpose  of  the  Congress  is  to  culti- 
vate,   promote,    and    manage    all    extra-curricular 


affairs;  to  promote  the  general  welfare  of  the 
students  and  of  La  Salle  College;  and  to  act  as 
an  advisory  body  between  the  students  and  the 
administration.

Mr.  Keating.  Seated  (1.  to  r.)  are:  Mr.  Potenza 
Larkin,  Mr.  Adler,  and  Mr.  Lance. 


THE  COLLEGIAN 


Interest  centers  on  Al  Butrym,  Collegian  Editor- 
in-chief,  as  he  maps  the  strategy  for  a  forthcom- 
ing issue  of  the  school's  newspaper. 


Adhering  to  the  tradition  of  changing  stalffs  at

ing the  editorship  of  the  Collegian. 


An  amusing  bit  of  sports  copy  appears  to  be 
unfolding  from  columnist  Jim  Dougherty's  type- 
writer by  the  facial  expressions  of  the  other 
Collegian  staff  members. 


The  responsibility  for  the  weekly  appearance  of 
the  195  5-5  6  Collegian  fell  to  Alexander  Butrym. 
The  paper  not  only  serves  as  a  workshop  for  stu- 
dents interested  in  journalism  but  acts  as  a  vehicle 
for  disseminating  information  to  the  student  body. 

Dr.  J.  L.  Rafter  and  Ted  Bronson,  former 
columnist  for  the  Collegian  and  a  195  5  graduate 
of  La  Salle,  who  is  the  current  public  relations 
man  for  the  College,  served  as  moderators  of  the 
paper  over  the  past  year. 

By-lines  from  Bill  Bickley,  Jack  McDevitt,  Jim 
Dougherty,  Tom  Devlin,  and  Norb  Moser,  to 
mention  a  few,  added  invaluable  interest  and  zest 
to  the  columns  of  the  eight  page  weekly.

SOCIOLOGY  CLUB 


The  purpose  of  the  Sociology  Club  is  to  better 
understand  the  problems  and  causes  of  social  dis- 
tress confronting  the  modern  world.  Field  trips, 
discussions  and  individual  case  studies  serve  as  the 
tools  for  the  accomplishment  of  this  worthwhile 
function. 


PI  DELTA  PHI 


Since  the  inauguration  of  the  Alpha  Psi  Chap- 
ter of  Pi  Delta  Phi  was  established  on  the  campus

a  tremendously  successful  organization. 

The  purpose  of  the  society  is  to  foster  a  wider 
knowledge  of,  and  a  greater  love  for  the  contribu- 
tions of  France  to  world  culture.

EDUCATION  SOCIETY 

The  Education  Society  was  founded  on  campus 
in  order  to  promote  an  interest  in  teachers'  prob- 
lems, to  foster  ideals  of  professional  ethics,  and 
to  increase  the  opportunity  for  professional  de- 
velopment through  organized  contacts  with 
teachers  currently  engaged  in  the  teaching  pro- 
fession. Leading  educators  in  the  Philadelphia  area 
addressed  the  club  at  monthly  meetings.-

cultural  opportunities  to  all  the  students  at  La 
Salle  College  interested  in  Italian  art,  music  and 
literature.

LE  CERCLE  CLAUDEL 


The  French  Club,  under  the  supervision  of  Dr. 
John  Guischard,  promotes  an  interest  among  the 
students  of  La  Salle  College  in  the  people,  institu- 
tions, literature,  art  and  civilization  of  France. 

Fine  plays,  spoken  entirely  in  French,  were  pre- 
sented regularly  during  the  past  few  years.  The 
newly  initiated  series  of  Music  Appreciation  Hours 


developed  into  the  biggest  "during  hours  activity" 
on  campus.  The  social  highlight  of  this  year  pre- 
sented by  the  energetic  French  Club  was  the 
"Night  in   Paris"   dance. 

There  are  two  divisions  of  Le  Cercle  Claudel, 
one  in  the  day  school  and  the  other  in  the  night

mountains  of  photos  and  sta- 
tistics to  compile  their  sec- 
tion, a  sailent  feature  of  the 
Explorer. 


Managing  the  entire  project 
was  Joe  O'Grady,  as  Editor- 
in-Chief.  A  facility  for  ad- 
ministrating and  a  stickler 
for  details,  Joe's  stewardship 
united  the  staff's  sundry 
ideas  and  reduced  them  to  a 
comprehensive  "whole. 


THE  1956  EXPLORER 


The  1956  Explorer  began  functioning  early  in  195  5  with  the  appoint- 
ment of  Joseph  O'Grady  as  Editor-in-Chief.  Since  that  day,  Joe  has 
worked  with  his  staff  to  make  the  Annual  a  success. 

The  myriad  problems  of  composition,  makeup  and  administration 
involved  in  publishing  a  yearbook  are  only  fully  appreciated  when 
confronted.  The  Explorer  staff  solved  these  formidable  problems  with 
skill  and  dexterity. 

Through  the  past  months,  the  major  proposition  in  the  minds  of  the 
staff  was  that  a  yearbook  should  serve  as  a  record  of  college  life  and  the 
outstanding  events  of  the  year.  The  conclusion,  a  successful  yearbook, 
proceeded  from  the  efforts  of  such  men  as  Joe  O'Grady,  Tom  Murphy, 
Jack  Grablewski,  Nick  Dienna,  Jim  Breen  and  many  others. 


During  a  relatively  inactive  moment  a  few  days 
before  the  deadline,  stafiF  members  submit  final 
reports.  Joe  O'Grady's  wit  failed  to  disturb 
the  contemplative  Ted  Miller,  typing  the  faculty 
section.  Jim  Dougherty,  in  the  background, 
convinces  Bill  Bickley  on  a  last  minute  change. 


Editor  Tom  Murphy  happily  agrees 
with  cohort  Ted  Miller's  handling 
of  his  section.  Tom's  able  man- 
aging of  the  Editorial  Depart- 
ment proved  to  be  indispensable 
during  the  days  leading  to  pub- 
lication. 


Bringing  in  the  wherewithal, 
Business  Manager  Jack  Grablewski 
relied  heavily  on  a  cooperative 
class  as  his  staff.  Recording  a  few 
last  subscribers.  Jack  smilingly 
balances  the   books. 


Photography  Editor  Karl  Wrightman 
made  the  Explorer  click  picture-w^ise. 
Believing  a  picture  is  worth  a  thousand 
words,  quiet  Karl  made  professional 
selection    of    material. 


Brother  Clementian,  F.S.C., 
Explorer  moderator,  in  his 
unmatched  tranquil  com- 
posure, directed  the  policy  of 
the  yearbook  staff  by  his 
years  of  experience  in  the 
£eld. 


Meeting  the  deadline  with  a  smile  is  the  Explorer  staff:  Joe  Kane,  Nick 
Dienna,  Bill  Bickley,  Jack  Grablewski,  John  Volz,  Tom  Murphy,  Pete  Pino, 
Ted  Miller  and  Tom  Noone.  In  the  rear  are  Jim  Dougherty,  Bob  Jones  and 
Al  Butrym.    Presiding   at   the  desk  is  Joe  O'Grady. 


GAVEL  SOCIETY 


Members  of  this  year's  Gavel  group 
are,  seated,  Peter  Walsh,  Secretary; 
William  Henhoeffer,  President;  and 
Lawrence  McAllee,  Treasurer.  In  the 
back  row  are  Frank  Truczukowski, 
James  O'Halloran,  Hugh  Logan,  Vin- 
cent Konen,  Joe  Murphy  and  Harry 
Bradley. 


PSYCHOLOGY  CLUB 


The  Psychology  Club  offers  an  oppor- 
tunity to  consider  the  problems  of 
psychology  more  extensively  than  do 
the  required  courses  but  -without  the 
emphasis  on  technical  aspects  required 
of  psychology  majors.  In  the  quad- 
rangle, Mr.  Rooney,  'moderator,  dis- 
cusses member-subject's  reactions,  Tvhile 
Bob  Rogers,  president,  offers  criticism. 


The  Gavel  Society  exists  at  La  Salle  College  for 
the  general  purpose  of  drawing  together  all  those 
men  who  are  interested  in  argumentation  and  de- 
bate and  for  the  specific  purpose  of  providing 
membership  for  the  intercollegiate  debating  teams 
representing  the  College.  The  society  is  nationally 
prominent  and  has  been  highly  successful  in  inter- 
collegiate matches. 


THE  MASQUE

Jules  Budny,  Clem  Feeny,  John  Carney  and  Jack  Lombard. 


Try-outs  for  The  Caine  Mutiny  are  presided  over  by  Mr.  Rodden  with  an 
insight  that  tells  in  the  final  result.  Selections  proved  difficult  from  the  large 
group  that  answered  the  call.  Casting  John  McCrane,  on  Mr.  Rodden's  left, 
as  the  Captain  of  the  Caine,   assured  a  dramatic  success. 


The  La  Salle  College  Theatre,  better  known  as  the  Masque,  followed 
its  tradition  of  bringing  fine  entertainment  to  students  and  friends  by 
presenting  two  Broadway  hits:   The  Cainc  Mutiny  and  South  Pacific. 

Masque  President,  Jack  Lombard,  can  proudly  match  the  successful 
theatrical  "double-header"  of  his  tenure  with  any  in  La  Salle's  history. 
Compliments  and  praise  were  well  deserved  for  Mr.  Dan  Rodden, 
moderator,  for  his  direction  of  both  shows. 


In  dress  rehearsal  for  the  Caine,  Clem  Feeny  cross-examines  -witness  McCrane 
before  Bill  McCaffrey's  Board  adjudicating  the  case.  Prosecutor  Hank  DeLuca 
listens  attentively,  while  defendant  Dick  Cavanaugh  seems  to  give  up  the 
ship.

The  most  recent  production  of 
the  Brothers'  Dramatic  Club  was 
the  play  "Stalag  17."  The  show 
centers  about  a  German  prison 
camp.  Brother  Ronald  (right) 
portrayed  a  German  spy  and 
Brother  Bernardine  (left  rear) 
played  the  soldier  who  uncovered 
the  plot. 


BROTHERS'  DRAMATIC  CLUB 


A  dramatics  club  in  a  Brothers'  Scholasticate 
serves  several  purposes.  The  chief  of  these  is 
recreational.  Productions  of  plays,  variety  shows, 
and  revues  provide  many  evenings  of  enjoyment 
to  the  whole  community.    While  staging  plays  the 


Brothers  gain  skill  in  the  allied  arts  of  lighting, 
make-up,  and  scenery.  Later  they  will  put  these 
skills  to  use  as  moderators  of  school  dramatic 
clubs. 


Another  production  this  year  Tvas  the  one  act  play  "Gold  Feathers." 
Brother  George  Paul  (left)  played  a  happy-go-lucky  naval  air 
cadet,  while  Brother  Gerard  Ronald  was  another  cadet  who  was 
almost  ""washed   out." 


Brother  Francis  De  Sales  as  "Stosh"  tries  un- 
successfully to  rid  the  barracks  of  "that  crumb 
Sefton,"  the  German  spy,  while  Brothers  Bar- 
tholomew and  Karl  attempt  to  quell  the  dis- 
order.

who  felt  that  a  Science  Club  should  be  inaugurated 
to  supplement  the  various  science  courses  offered. 
The  outcome  was  the  Evening  Division  Science 
Club,  which  attempts  to  integrate  various  class 
material  by  guest  speakers,  films  and  discussions.

ACCOUNTING  ASSOCIATION 

The  Accounting  Association  whose  aim  is  to 
foster  better  relations  among  accounting  students 
and  promote  greater  interest  in  the  accounting 
profession,  had  for  its  president  this  year  Peter 
Finnegan.  Other  officers  were  Frank  Trent,  Gerald 
Bowers,  and  Joseph  Antal. 

The  Association  in  co-operation  with  three  other 
clubs  promote  and  present  the  Annual  SIAM 
Dance,  the  focal  point  of  the  second  semester.

INDUSTRIAL  RELATIONS  COMMISSION 


The  Industrial  Relations  Commission  was 
founded  in  1954,  and  immediately  added  to  the 
extra-curricular  life  of  the  business  majors.  The 
Commission  initiated  a  lecture  program  which 
brought  to  the  La  Salle  College  campus  many  of 
the  leaders  in  the  field  of  management  and  union- 
ism. In  the  past  year,  the  Evening  Division  stu- 
dents formed  their  own  division  of  the  club,  thus 
enabling  the  entire  college  to  profit  from  the 
activities  of  the  combined  and  larger  club.  Both 
groups  are  under  the  capable  direction  of  Mr. 
Charles  Halpin,  the  club's  moderator.

The  Marketing  Association,  under  the  direct 
guidance  of  Mr.  George  Swoyer,  has  a  two-fold 
purpose:  first,  to  foster  an  interest  in  the  field 
of  Marketing;  and  second,  to  promote  high  ethical 
standards  within  the  field.  Their  primary  purpose 
is  accomplished  by  inviting  to  the  college  well- 
known  authorities  to  present  lectures  and  to  direct 
discussion  groups;  while  the  secondary  one  is  ful- 
filled by  presenting  Catholic  ethical  principles  in 
the  light  of  modern  economic  life,  proving  that 
the  business  man  can  be  both  successful  and 
ethical.

MARKETING 
ASSOCIATION 


The  Evening  School  formed  the  Marketing  As- 
sociation during  the  195  3-54  school  year,  and 
since  that  time  has  cooperated  with  the  Day  School 
Association  in  the  promotion  of  their  mutual  pur- 
poses. Many  lecture  and  social  affairs  were  arranged 
through  the  combined  effort  of  the  leaders  of  both 
groups  in  such  a  way  that  the  members  of  the 
entire  association  were  able  to  attend  and  enjoy 
these  functions.

ALPHA  PHI  OMEGA 


Members  of  the  APO  are  hidden  workers  who 
accomphsh  so  much  and  receive  so  httle  credit  for 
many  of  the  activities  that  take  place  on  the 
campus.  This  small  group  was  primarily  respon- 
sible for  the  huge  success  of  the  "You  and  Marriage 
Series,"  which  was  directly  sponsored  by  the 
NFCCS,  the  Freshman  Formal,  the  Day  Student's 
Retreat,  and  many  more.  The  list  of  their  activities 
is  endless;  and  thus,  the  members  of  Alpha  Phi 
Omega  fulfill  their  primary  purpose — service.  This 
Fraternity,  which  began  on  the  La  Salle  Campus 
as  a  petitioning  group  in  the  Fall  of  1954,  received 
its  official  charter  on  May  17,  195  5.  In  the  past 
year,  they  have  enlarged  their  services  under  the 
leadership  of  Milton  Miller  and  his  competent 
officers.

CAISSON  CLUB 


The  Senior  member.s  of  the  Caisson  Club  meet  in  one  of 
the  Battery  Day  Rooms  during  their  visit  to  Fort  Sill. 
The  meeting  was  held  to  elect  a  president  of  the  club. 
Jesse  Atkins,  a  New  Jersey  man,  got  the  nod. 


Dick  Lee,  singing  many  of  his  hit  tunes,  thrilled  the 
three  hundred  couples  at  the  Military  Ball  -with  his 
performance.  Mr.  Lee  "was  appearing  at  Sciolla's  on 
the  night  of  the  Military  Ball  and  accepted  an  invita- 
tion extended  by  the  Caisson  Club. 


The  Caisson  Club  is  an  organization  sponsored 
by  the  Reserve  Officer's  Training  Corps.  Its 
purpose  is  threefold:  to  maintain  a  high  stand- 
ard of  mihtary  education  in  school,  to  encour- 
age and  foster  the  essential  qualities  of  good 
and  efficient  officers,  and  to  promote  friendship 
and  good  fellowship  among  the  cadets.  The  Club 
sponsors  the  Annual  Military  Ball  and  other  social 
and  business  functions  for  members  of  the 
R.O.T.C.  Membership  in  this  Club  is  limited  to 
outstanding  students  in  the  second  year  basic 
course  and  the  advanced  course.  The  Caisson  Club 
also  presents  the  Outstanding  Class  Awards  to 
those  members  of  each  class  who  fulfill  the  highest 
ideals  of  the  Military  Service. 


The  officers  of  NFCCS  are:  (1.  to  r.)  Joseph 
Harris  (secretary),  Peter  Pino  (president), 
Thomas  Cunningham  (vice-president)  and  James 
McDonald   (treasurer). 


NATIONAL  FEDERATION 

OF  CATHOLIC 
COLLEGE  STUDENTS 


The  National  Federation  of  Catholic  College 
Students  is  an  organization  whose  purpose  is  to 
acquaint  students  with  their  responsibility  to  the 
student  and  post-college  communities  and  to  con- 
tribute to  Catholic  leadership. 

Operating  through  a  series  of  National  and 
Regional  Commissions,  NFCCS  coordinates  and

Since  the  picture  w^as  taken  on  a  drill  day,  the 
Fraternity  Tvas  able  to  demonstrate  the  influence 
of  the  R.O.T.C.  in  its  membership.  This  group, 
the  most  active  on  campus,  has  been  able  to  do 
much   for  La   Salle. 


SIGMA  BETA  KAPPA 


Just  nine  short  years  ago  a  national  Catholic 
organization  known  as  the  Gamma  Chapter  of 
Sigma  Beta  Kappa  was  formed  on  the  La  Salle 
campus.  Since  that  time  the  SBK  has  grown  into 
the  most  popular  fraternal  organization  among 
the  student  body. 

The  society  is  devoted  to  the  development  of 
character  and  campus  leadership  on  the  basis  of 
a   strong,  sense   of  Christian   morality. 

Secondarily  dedicated  to  the  advancement  of  a 
sound  program  of  Catholic  Youth  Welfare,  the 
Fraternity  accomplishes  untold  merit  at  the  Saint 
John  Orphanage. 


In  the  course  of  the  school  year,  the 
SBK  sponsors  two  major  dances.  The 
above  is  a  scene  from  the  "Thanks- 
giving Dance"  which  is  held  each  year 
in  order  to  gather  funds  for  the 
Christmas  party  at  Saint  John's  Or- 
phanage. 


Some  of  the  Officers  of  the  Fraternity 
sit  with  their  moderator  Brother 
Damian:  (1.  to  r.)  Edwin  Stein  (secre- 
tary), Frank  Healy  (vice-president), 
Len  Tully  (Orphanage  Director),  and 
Bill    Thomas    (Mardi    Gras    chairman). 


The  primary  purpose  of  the  Sigma  Beta  Kappa  Fra- 
ternity is  to  foster  Cathohc  Action.  Gamma  Chapter  in 
1948  proposed  that  the  chapter  fulfill  this  purpose  by 
rendering  services  to  the  orphans  of  St.  John's.  Since 
that  time  the  Fraternity  brothers  have  devoted  untold 
hours  of  toil  so  that  they  may  bring  into  the  little  lives 
some  rays  of  joy.  It  is  most  fitting  that  the  climax  of  these 
activities  would  be  the  Annual  Christmas  Party.  There 
Santa  Claus  is  giving  the  orphans  some  of  their  presents. 


During  the  course  of  the  evening  the  orphans  -were  given  ice 
cream  and  candy.  Some  of  the  orphans  are  shown  finishing 
their  ice   cream.

BENILDE  GLEE  CLUB 


The  Benilde  Club  seeks  to  aid  those  who  believe 
they  may  have  a  vocation  or  who  are  interested 
in  hearing  of  the  formation  and  works  of  the 
various  religious  orders  that  compose  the  clergy 
of  the  Catholic  Church.  The  activities  of  the  club 
set  a  fine  example  for  the  entire  student  body; 
and  the  deep  religious  spirit  that  motivates  it  is 
mirrored  by  its  membership.

Jack  Wall,  Tom  Shawdis,  John  Burke,   Bob  Ronco,  and   Presi-

smallest  groups  on   Campus,  they   are   undoubtedly  one  of  the 
most  active  for  their  size. 


The  Praefectus  Club  is  an  organization  com- 
posed of  student  managers  of  athletic  teams.  Serv- 
ice for  one  year  as  an  apprentice  manager,  main- 
tenance of  a  high  level  of  scholarship  and  a  keen 
desire  to  work  for  the  good  of  La  Salle  are  among 
the  requirements  for  membership. 

The  blue  blazer  and  shield  are  the  distinctive 
identification  of  the  organization.

The  purpose  of  the  Varsity  Club  is  the  organi-

Explorer  Sports:  Since  its  founding  La  Salle  has  al'ways  recognized  the  value 
of  good  clean  athletic  competition.  The  consequences  of  the  "all  work  and  no 
play"  adage  have  al'ways  been  kept  in  mind  as  sports  have  supplemented  the 
academic  diet  for  Explorers  through  the  years.  The  happy  medium  between 
athletics  and  studies  has  constantly  been  maintained  w^ith  the  accent  in  any 
athletic  contest  being  always  on  playing  the  game  as  a  gentleman  rather  than  on 
■winning  at  any  cost.  Good  sportsmanship  and  consideration  for  the  other  man 
have  alw^ays  been  characteristic  of  La  Salle  athletes.  They  have  w^on  their 
share  of  honors. 


Mr.  James  J.  Henry Director  of  Athletics:  The  coach  of  any  athletic  team  is 

the  man  behind  the  athlete.  And  the  man  behind  the  coach  is  the  Athletic 
Director.  At  La  Salle  this  responsible  position  is  filled  very  capably  by  a  quiet 
spoken,  devoted  man  who  is  both  teacher  and  administrator.  Mr.  James  J.  Henry, 
always  one  to  recognize  the  value  of  improving  oneself,  came  to  La  Salle  from 
Villanova,  and  has  been  serving  Blue  and  Gold  sports  for  more  than  25  years, 
the  last  2 1  of  these  in  his  present  position  as  Director  of  Athletics.

"None  of  that  stuff  now!"  Coach  Jim  Pollard  seems 
to  be  saying  as  assistant  Frank  O'Hara  looks  on.  A 
former  Ail-American  at  Stanford  and  an  All-Pro 
selection  -with  the  powerful  Minneapolis  Laker  teams 
of  recent  years,  the  "Kangaroo  Kid"  guided  the 
Explorers  to  a  winning  15-10  season  in  his  first  fling 
at  coaching.  Jim,  who  o"wns  a  lifetime  scoring  aver- 
age of  13.1  as  a  Pro,  said  that  he  had  "learned  more 
basketball  this  season  than  any  boy  on  the  La  Salle 
squad."  A  perfect  gentleman  at  all  times  and  very 
different  in  temperament  from  his  predecessor,  Jim 
is  respected  and  admired  by  every  player  and  looks 
forward  to  a  fine  season  next  year. 
Frank  "Wacky"  O'Hara,  captain  of  the  Explorers' 
1954  NCAA  championship  team,  did  an  excellent  job 
as  coach  of  the  frosh  as  well  as  aiding  Jim  with  the 
varsity. 


"Can  I  give  you  a  band?"  asks  Muhlenberg's  Clint  Jeffries 
(3  6)  as  Franny  O'Malley  exhibits  his  "classic  drive."  The 
Mules'  Bill  Smith  (45)  comes  over  to  lend  one  too. 
Despite  a  24  point  performance  by  Franny  in  this,  the 
Explorers'  Palestra  opener,  the  Blue  and  Gold  dropped  a 
69-5  8  decision.  Later  in  the  season,  however,  La  Salle 
evened  things  up,  defeating  the  highly-rated  Mules  on  their 
home   court,   81-70. 


Vp  for  this  one.  Bob  Ames  seems  to  be  reaching  for  the 
ceiling  of  the  Lincoln  High  gym  with  his  right  hand  push 
shot  against  Albright's  Riddell  (21)  as  Mike  DePaul  (14) 
watches  the  action.  All  of  the  Explorers  got  into  the  act 
as   they   walloped    the   Lions,    96-63. 


"Don't  shoot'.  Don't  shoot!"  pleads 
6'7"  Tom  Hemans  (3  0)  as  Charley 
Singley  lays  one  up  against  the 
NIT  bound  Niagara  five  at  the 
Palestra.  Watching  intently  are 
the  Purple  Eagles'  Worosz  (31) 
and  Prechtl  (32).  The  Explorers 
fought  back  valiantly  from  a  12 
point  deficit  in  this  one  but  just 
missed,  72-70. 


.vf^4at»&;y 


"O.K.,  left  handed!"  says  Frank  Blatcher,  scor- 
ing two  of  his  fourteen  points  as  the  Explorers 
shot  a  sizzling  53%  to  down  NIT  entry  Lafay- 
ette, 95-81,  at  the  Palestra. 


Blow,  Blotv,  Blow  the  ball  down!  San  Francisco's  6' 10"  AU-Amerlcan 
Bill  Russell  (6)  seems  prepared  to  blow  the  ball  out  of  bounds  as  soon 
as  Franny  O'Malley  lets  it  go.  The  Explorers  battled  the  nation's  No.  1 
team  to  a  standstill  for  34  minutes  before  succumbing  to  a  late  USF 
rally,  79-62. 


"This  is  called  a  jump  shot,  Bill,"  instructs  Fran  O'Malley  as  he 
buckets  two  of  the  18  points  he  scored  against  the  Dons.  Bill 
Russell     (6),    Gene    Brown     (15),    Bob    Maples     (14),    and    Al 


Lewis  (5)  pay  strict  attention  while  the  Dons'  Presseau  (18)

a  rebound  against  St.  Joseph's  at  the  Palestra 
as  the  Hawks'  Ray  Radziszewski  (18)  and  Kurt 
Engelburt  (19)  are  caught  flat-footed.  How- 
ever, the  Hawks,  city  champions  to  be,  sneaked 
by  69-56  as  the  Explorers  just  couldn't  get 
started. 


Dance,  Ballerina,  Dance!  Frank  Blatcher  out- 
jumps  6'10"  Lloyd  Sharrar  (24)  of  West  Vir- 
ginia to  share  a  rebound,  flanked  by  the  visitors' 
Vincent  (15),  Barnett  (11),  and  AU-American 
"Hot  Rod"  Hundley  (33).  In  one  of  their,  best 
performances  of  the  year  the  Explorers  swamped 
the  NCAA  bound  Mountaineers,  87-71,  at  the 
Palestra.

Squeeze  Play,  Al  Lewis  (5)  is  caught  between 
two  Pirates  named  Gallagher  (4)  and  Gaines 
(9)  as  teammate  Bob  Maples  (14)  and  another 
Buccaneer,  Richie  Long  (23)  look  on.  Bob  and 
Al  split  20  points  between  them  but  the  Ex- 
plorers dropped  a  heartbreaker,  64-65,  to  Seton 
Hall,  another  NIT  entry  on  the  La  Salle  sched- 
ule,  at    the   Palestra. 


"Oh,  so  that's  how  you  do 
it!"  remarks  Pennsylvania's 
Earl  Killian  (19)  as  Fran 
O'Malley  lays  one  up.  Jerry 
Nensel  (15)  of  Penn  seems 
about  to  call  it  a  night  while 
Charlie  Eltringham  (18) 
takes  time  out  from  doing 
push-ups  to  -watch  the  shot. 
The  Explorers  waltzed  past 
the  Quakers,  64-52,  at  the 
Palestra. 


"Let  go  or  take  off  your 
glasses,"  says  Frank  Blatcher 
to  emphasize  his  point  to 
Georgetown's  Dale  Smith 
(14).  Despite  their  spirit  of 
determination  the  Blue  and 
Gold  continued  their  habit 
of  losing  the  close  ones,  bow- 
ing to  the  Hoyas  in  overtime, 
67-63.  Other  Hoyas,  Ken 
Pichette  (17)  and  Joe  Mis- 
sett  (23),  seem  unwilling  to 
argue  the  point  as  soph  Ed 
Givnish  (19),  Fran  O'Malley 
(4),  and  Bob  Maples  (14) 
stand  by. 


Driving  Lessons.  Temple's  abbreviated  back- 
court  duo  of  Guy  Rodgers  (5)  and  Hal  Lear 
(6)  pick  up  a  few  pointers  from  Bob  Maples 
(14)  as  he  glides  past  Owl  Jay  Norman  (15) 
to  notch  a  field  goal.  The  Explorers,  leading  by 
nine  points,  failed  to  score  in  the  final  five 
minutes,  enabling  the  nationally  ranked  and 
NCAA    bound    Owls    to    back    in,    60-57. 

Between  Rounds.  A  major  factor  in  the  Ex- 
plorers' loss  to  Temple  w^as  an  injury  to  center 
Wally  Fredricks  in  the  last  few  minutes  of  the 
game.  A  stray  Ow^l  elbow  made  contact  w^ith 
the  La  Salle  center's  left  eye,  bruising  it  seri- 
ously enough  to  cause  him  to  leave  the  game. 
Here  a  physician  applies  medication  as  Trainer 
Mario  Vettere  and  Ted  Bronson  lend  assistance. 


Up  J  up  J  and  away.  Charlie 
Singley,  a  12  point  per- 
former, throws  up  a  two 
pointer  as  Temple's  "Tink" 
Van  Patton  (19)  leaps  fruit- 
lessly behind  the  shot.  Owl 
co-captain  "Hotsy"  Reinfeld 
(17)  grimaces  as  the  Cherry 
and  White  seem  headed  for 
defeat,  while  Guy  Rodgers 
( 5 )    admires    Charlie's    form.

(behind  Weissman)  and  Jimmie  Smith  (24)  of  Villa- 
nova  give  futile  chase  w^hile  La  Salle's  Al  Lewis  (5) 
and  Charlie  Greenberg  (11)  w^atch  confidently.  The 
, Explorers,  ahead  throughout,  breezed  to  a  71-64 
decision  over  the  not  so  Wildcats  at  the  Palestra. 


Get  that  ball!  AI  Lewis  battles  with  Villanova's  Jack 
Weissman  (15)  for  possession  as  Charlie  Singley  (10)

and  Wildcat  Tom  Brennan  (32)  express  wonderment 
at  the  proceedings.  Some  poor  shooting  by  the  Ex- 
plorers late  in  the  game  permitted  the  victory-starved 
■Main    Liners    to    cop    a    close,    76-73    verdict.

Eddie  Suez  leads  the  Ex-

of  action  is  the  soccer  field 
behind  McCarthy  Stadium. 
The  Smithmen  opened  their 
season  w^ith  a  3-1  victory 
over   Lafayette. 


Coach  Joe  Smith  instructs  his  charges  in  the  finer  points  of  soccer  play.  This  shull  session  took 
place  during  the  early  part  of  the  season  before  the  hooters  met  some  of  the  finest  teams  in  the 
east.  The  soccermen  finished  with  a  2-6  record  but  three  of  the  losses  were  by  the  slim  margin 
of  one  goal.     The  hooters  had  a  fine  leader  in  Captain  Hank  De Vincent. 


In  an  action  shot  taken  from  the  Ur- 
sinus  game  Bobby  Graham  and  Jack 
Smith  battle  for  possession  of  the  ball. 
The  game  was  one  of  six  played  at 
La  Salle's  home  field  during  the  season. 


Goalie  Hank  DeVincent  was  one  of  the  standouts  on 
this  year's  soccer  team.  Hank,  a  senior,  proved  his 
versatility  by  playing  well  the  different  positions 
assigned  him  by  Coach  Joe  Smith.

SWIMMING 


For  the  past  two  seasons,  the  Explorer  swimming  team 
has  been  nearly  perfect.  The  brilHant  coaching  of  Joe 
Kirk  and  a  wealth  of  exceptional  talent  has  led  to  twenty- 
two  consecutive  dual  wins,  a  runner  up  position  in  the 
195 T  Metropolitan  Championship  and  the  Number  One 
spot  in  the   1956  edition. 

What  makes  the  glory  all  the  more  shining  is  that  Joe 
Kirk  is  confronted  with  a  group  comprised  of  sophomores 
and  juniors  Ernie  Gash,  Jim  Sheehan,  Frank  "Buzz" 
Kohler  and  Terry  McLaughlin  and  sprinkled  with  seniors 
Joe  Hockenbrook  and  Paul  Misura. 

The  1956  Champions  of  Philadelphia  can  look  forward 
to  more  honor  and  glory  in  the  coming  years  because  the 
spirit  and  technique  will  improve. 


Coach  Joe  Kirk  tries  out  his  OTvn  techniques  in  the  Villa- 
nova  pool  after  the  Explorers  tankmen  had  swept  the 
Metropolitan  Swimpiing  Championships.  Tom  Devlin  (L.) 
and  Joe  Hockenbrock    (R.)    look  on.

Sheehan,  Gash  and  Kohler  receive  awards  from  'Bud'  Dudley  o^ 
Villanova  after  placing  one-two-three  in  the  fifty  yard  freestyle  in 
the  Metropolitan  meet.     Time  was  0:23:1,   a  new   record. 


One  of  the  better  up  and  coming  divers  in  the  Philadelphia 
area  is  Mitch  Sukalski  shown  here  giving  a  demonstra- 
tion of  his  wares.  Mitch  placed  high  in  the  Metropolitan 
Championships. 


Ernie  Gash  gets  a  good  jump  in  a  practice  joust.  Gash  teams 
with  Sheehan,  Kohler  and  McLaughlin  as  Philadelphia's  most 
devastating  sprint   and  middle  distance  quartet. 


The  start  of  the  440  yard  freestyle  shows  Willis  of  Pcnn, 
J.  Misura  of  La  Salle,  Coggins  of  Penn  and  Lavin  and 
Devlin  of  La  Salle  going  to  work.  Lavin,  Misura  and 
Devlin  were  two-three-and  four.  W.  Coggins  won  in 
5:12.

home  in  dual  meets.  Eldridge,  fresh  from  the 
clutches  of  Uncle  Sam,  led  the  Wetzler-men  to  a 
three  and  three  record  in  dual  meets  and  third 
place  in   the   MAC   Championships.

which  the  Explorers  took  by  the  score  of  13  37  to  1297. 


La  Salle's  Rifle  Team,  coached  by  Major  Her- 
bert Fleck,  has  come  out  of  the  doldrums  of  the 
past  seasons  to  provide  some  interesting  competi- 
tion for  the  rest  of  the  college  marksman  squads. 

The  team  is  made  up  of  several  veterans  in 
Clem  Feeny,  Jack  Harrell,  George  Sinclair  and 
Ed  Reading.  Included  in  the  team  are  marksrrien 
O'Rourke,  Gruber,  Campbell,  Fraley  and  Mc- 
llhenny. 


La  Salle  has  faced  top  notch  opponents  like 
Valley  Forge  Mihtary  Academy,  Penn  N.R.O.T.C, 
Villanova,  Temple,  Penn  Military  College  and  St. 
Joseph's. 

While  rifle  competition  is  a  comparatively  new 
sport  at  La  Salle,  the  teams  fielded  seem  to  be 
getting  better  and  better  and  that  means  trouble 
for  the  opponents.

THE  PHILADELPHIA  OPENER 
La  Salle's  varsity  eight  open  up 
a  length  lead  on  the  big  eight 
from  American  International  Col- 
lege. The  Blue  and  Gold  paddlers 
(left  foreground)  won  this  race 
with  comparative  ease.  This  may 
be  the  sight  on  May  12  when  the 
Dad  Vail  Trophy  Race  will  be 
held  on  the  Schuylkill.

Philips,  Dick  Flynn,  Herb  Dorchsbrung  and   (in  front)    Tommy  Loschiavo. 


THEY  ARE  GENTLEMEN  AND  SCULLERS! 
The   1956  Explorer  Crew  are:    Back  Row:    Johnny  Seitz,  John  Dever,  Bob  Morro,  Romeo  Boyd, 
John  Bloxsom  and  coach  Tom  "Bear"  Curran.    Front  Row:   Jerry  Heffernan,  Jim  Garvin,  Vince 
Syzmkowski  and  Frank  McCloskey. 


Tom  Curran,  better  known  as  "the  Bear,"  makes 
no  bones  about  the  fact  that  he  wants  the  Dad 
Vail  Trophy  back  in  the  hallowed  halls  of  La  Salle 
College.  The  Dad  Vail  Trophy  is  symbolic  of 
national  supremacy  in  rowing  among  small  col- 
leges. 

Curran's  crews  are  on  the  river  every  day,  rain 
or  shine,  at  the  unearthly  hour  of  6:4  J  A.M.  and 
for  a  return  dose  at  4:00  P.M. 

As  this  book  goes  to  press,  the  varsity  eight 
has  chalked  up  three  wins  in  four  tries.  On  a 
Florida  junket,  the  Explorers  whipped  Florida 
Southern  and  Tam^pa  and  lost,  in  a  stunning  upset, 
to  a  good  Rollins  College  eight.  Later  in  April, 
the  Blue  and  Gold  gave  American  International 
a  lesson  in  the  art  of  rowing  on  the  Schuylkill 
River  by  winning  by  a  length  and  a  half. 

The  junior  varsity  eight  and  the  Frosh  eight 
have  shown  good  form  in  their  outings.  Thus, 
after  the  season,  "The  Bear"  may  hibernate  and 
dream  of  Dad  Vail  Trophies  for  many  years  to 
come. 


COACH   TOM    "BEAR"    CURRAN 
"The  Bear"  scans  the  murky  waters  of  the  Schuylkill 
River.     Does  he  see  another  Dad   Vail  Trophy? 


TRACK 


Frank  Wetzler,  coach  of  the  Cross  Country  and  Track  teams, 
believes  in  conditioning  his  men  to  the  real  fine  edge.  It  pays 
off,  too.  La  Salle's  cindermen  have  been  M.A.C.  champs  in 
three  of  the  last  four  years. 


The  1956  edition  of  the  La  Salle  track  team  looks  like 
a  sure  bet  to  repeat  as  Middle  Atlantic  Conference  Cham- 
pions. Having  won  three  of  the  last  four  top  spots,  Coach 
Frank  Wetzler  will  field  of  group  of  seasoned  veterans 
paced  in  the  track  events  by  Mark  Harmon,  Paul  Mita, 
Vic  Gavin  and  a  few  others.  In  the  field  Wetzler  has  all 
around  man  Tom  McGowan. 

The  schedule  of  meets  sees  La  Salle  facing  such  formid- 


able foes  as  St.  Joseph's,  St.  John's,  Villanova  and  West 
Chester.  As  a  matter  of  course,  the  cindermen  will  partici- 
pate in  three  big  meets  where  they  will  defend  honors 
previously  taken.  The  first  is  the  Penn  Relays  at  Franklin 
Field  in  late  April  and  followed  later  by  the  M.A.C. 
championships  in  mid-May  and  the  IC4A  affair  in  New 
York  at  the  end  of  May.  We  wish  Frank  Wetzler  and  the 
entire  team  the  best  of  luck. 


KANGAROO,  Mark  Harmon,  Bob  Kraemer,  Paul  Mita,  George- 
town hurdler,  and  Vic  Gavin  (L.  to  R.)  meet  their  first 
obstacle  in  a  sprint  race.  All  Explorer  men  pictured  above 
iorm  one  of  the  best  sprint  quartets  in  the  East.  All  break 
records    with    regularity. 


My  Achin'  Dogs:  Unidentified  Explorer  broad  jumper  returns  to 
the  sidelines  as  interested  La  Salle  onlookers  check  next  entry.  The 
broad  jump  is  one  of  Coach  Wetzler's  fortes. 


Jack  Lynch  goes  over  the  bar.     Top  height  has  been   12'  6"  to  date. 


J.A.T.O.:  Mark  Harmon,  rnnner  ex- 
traordinary, turns  on  the  fire  for  a 
jet  assisted  take  off  in  the  high  jump.

Jim    Gross,    Jack    Catanio,  John    Bengough,  and    Bob    Rumer    with    Coach    Frank    Hoerst    look 
like  a  menacing  group  as  they  pose  for  the  picture.  Gross,   Rumer  and   Catanio  paced  La  Salle 
to  a  10-2  verdict  over  Haverford  in  the  opening.  The  trio  whiffed   15  men.

INTRAMURALS 


"Don't  Crowd  Please,"  says  one  of  the  Gold 
League  gridmen  as  three  mates  go  up  for  a  pass. 
Intramural  football  seems  to  be  the  most  popular 
of  tbs  non  varsity  sports. 


BALLET  de  McCARTHY  FIELD  is  portrayed  by 
members  of  the  Intramural  Blue  League.  The 
contestants  are  reaching  for  a  long  toss  Tvhich 
unfortunately  eludes  both  of  them.  (Ball  it; 
upper    right    corner. ) 


"I  SHOULD  HAVE  STOOD  IN  BED"  seems  to 
be  the  sentiments  of  Blue  League  passer  as  he 
can't  find  his  receivers.  He  also  finds  that  after 
getting  past  one  man  there's  trouble  sweeping 
in  from  the  right. 


ALPHONSE-GASTON?  Two  Gold  League  de- 
fenders look  on  somew^hat  helplessly  as  Ed 
Givnish,  of  the  basketball  team,  pulls  in  a  spot 
pass.  Another  duo  tries  to  intercept  but  find 
"their  feet  too  big."

MEMO:  INTRAMURALS 

While  academic  work  takes  up  the  better  part  of  a 
student's  life  at  La  Salle,  intramural  sports  gives  the  boys 
a  little  chance  to  work  off  the  excess  energy. 

It  would  be  fitting  to  salute  Joe  Kirk,  coach  of  the 
championship  swimming  team,  and  commissioner  of  the 
intramural  program.  Too  few  people  realize  that  the  co- 
ordination of  many  teams  in  the  fields  of  basketball,  soft- 
ball  and  football  is  an  extremely  tedious  job.  Mr.  Kirk 
has  done  the  chore  with  nary  a  gripe.  It  is  evidence  that 
"Jolly  Joe"  is  a  master  at  handling  men. 

One  would  be  surprised  to  find  that  some  of  the  games 
played  on  the  field  behind  Benilde  Hall  and  on  the  courts 
of  the  gym  produce  what  might  be  termed  "pretty  fair 
athletes."  No  team  is  overmatched  for  the  players  them- 
selves hold  stretegy  meetings  to  cope  with  their  opponents. 
To  the  players,  it  is  serious.  To  Joe  Kirk,  it  is  a  job.  But 
it's  a  job  that  pays  off  in  a  high  degree  of  sportsmanship. 


ONE  FOR  THE  OUTER  GARDENS:  The  shades  of  Gerhig 
can  be  seen  in  this  mighty  swat  in  an  intramural  Softball  game. 
Batter  picked  up  two  bases  on  this  clout. 


REQUIESCANT  IN  PACE 

With  this  page  we  lay  to  rest  a  great  year  in  athletics.  It 
has  been  difficult  to  choose  the  most  thrilling  of  sports  experi- 
ences for  the  past  year.  It  would  be  more  difficult  to  compress 
four  years  into  these  twenty-four  pages. 

We  leave  behind  us  pages  of  records,  many  trophies,  and 
certificates  of  profitiency  in  sports.  Those  of  us  who  played 
now  lay  down  the  basketballs,  tennis  racquets,  golf  clubs,  base- 
ball bats,  oars,  soccer  shoes,  and  rifles.  Those  of  us  who 
watched  lay  down  our  scorecards,  press  clippings  and  scrap- 
books.  We  will  never  forget  the  shrieks  of  the  crowd,  bat 
striking  ball,  the  sound  of  human  body  against  water  and 
the  bullets  boring  into  targets. 

The  pages  of  this  book,  like  the  pages  of  the  scorecards  and 
press  clippings,  will  turn  yellow  with  age.  The  uniforms  may 
lie  in  lockered  repose.  Yet  our  memories  will  carry  us  back 
to  those  good  afternoons  and  yes,  to  those  bad  days  when 
every  ball  took  the  wrong  bounce. 

To  the  coaches,  players  and  sport  directors,  the  spectator 
and  student,  Grantland  Rice  had  these  words:  "For  when  the 
One  Great  Scorer  comes  to  write  against  your  name.  He  writes 
not — that  you  won  or  lost — but  how  you  played  the  game."

Many  gruelling  contests  have  been  fought  for 
the  intramural  basketball  crown  in  the  College 
field  house.  Basketball  has  the  largest  response  in 
participation   among  the   students.

"Howdy,  Clem!"  Stage  settings  and  viva- 
cious Thesbians  claim  the  limelight  many 
times   throughout   the   school   year. 


"Who's  next,  please?"  The  campus  tonsorial  parlor  is  always  a  busy  thorough-

Dances,  dances,  and  more  dances    provide    the    students    of    La  Salle    with   "cool"  memories  of 
"real  gone"  times. 


When  "Old  Sol"  breathes  his  warm   rays  on  Philadelphia,   picnics   are   in   order   for   the   student 
body.     Watch  out,  Fairmount  Park!     Here  comes  La  Salle.

Headquarters  Battery  steps  off 
into  column  for  the  Annual  In- 
spection and  Review,  the  culmina- 
tion of  months  of  intensive  drill. 
The  entire  regiment,  including 
Drill  Team  and  Band,  participate 
in   this  Review. 


The  Color  Guard  marches  smartly 
down  the  track,  leading  the  Sec- 
ond Battalion  on  to  the  Parade 
Ground. 


Filing  into  Holy  Child  Church  for 
the  Annual  Mass  for  the  Feast  of 
St.  Barbara,  La  Salle's  ROTC  Unit 
displayed  proficiency  at  drill  for 
.shioners   and  friends. 


During  the  195  5  Summer  Camp, 
Brother  Daniel  Bernian,  repre- 
senting the  administration  of  La 
Salle  College,  visited  Fort  Sill, 
Oklahoma,  on  invitation  of  the 
United  States  Army.  The  high- 
light of  his  trip  was  the  Annual 
Cadet  Banquet  which  was  held  at 
the  Officers'  Club  of  Fort  Sill. 


Cadets  David  Imsch-weiler  (far 
right)  and  Edward  Stein  are 
pointing  out  some  aspects  of  the 
Artillery  Mission  in  modern  -war- 
fare to  Brother  Daniel  Bernian. 
Lieutenant  Colonel  Stephen 
Uchrek  (left),  the  Professor  of 
Military  Science  and  Tactics  at 
La   Salle   College,   looks   on. 


Each  year  the  Department  of 
the  Army  sends  an  Inspect- 
ing Party  to  our  campus.  All 
aspects  of  the  ROTC  Pro- 
gram are  carefully  scrutin- 
ized by  this  group  of  Reg- 
ular Army  Officers.  In  the 
above  picture,  the  Cadet 
Band  is  performing  one  of 
their  intricate  movements, 
much  to  the  satisfaction  of 
the   Inspecting    Officers. 


BACK  TO  SCHOOL 


The  cafeteria,  at  a  quiet  moment  dur- 
ing Fall  registration,  finds  many  en- 
joying that  good  food  for  which  La 
Salle  is  famous.  Registration  is  the 
first  official  activity  of  the  school  year, 
one  ■which  everyone  would  rather  by- 
pass because  of  the  renowned  "red- 
tape". 


On  the  Monday  following  registration,  the 
students  arrive  on  Campus  for  their  first 
class  day  of  the  year.  One  of  the  most 
familiar  sights,  and  the  happiest  in  the 
minds  of  the  students,  is  the  class  break. 
Here,  the  students  are  shown  at  that  famous 
period  of  the  day,  still  enjoying  the  warm 
weather  and  discussing  tales  of  by-gone 
summer    days. 


Back  to  work  again  and  "all  is  quiet  on  the  Western 
front."  Most  students  utilize  the  tranquility  of  the 
College  library  for  absorbing  knowledge  for  the  mid 
semester  examinations. 


The  annual  Harvest  Dance,  sponsored  by  the  Student  Council^ 
■was  held  in  the  main  ballroom  of  the  Broadwood  Hotel.  Senior 
Ted  Friel  and  his  fiancee  appear  to  be  involved  in  an  intricate 
movement  of  a  jitterbug  number. 


Jack  Lombard,  president  of  the  Student  Council,  presents 
a  w^ord  of  thanks  to  the  hundreds  M>^ho  attended  the 
annual  Harvest   Dance. 


A  typical  examination  arrangement,  the  students  concen- 
trate and  write  simultaneously  for  the  full  lengh  of  the 
period  since  time  is  priceless   during   the 


Edward  Stein  prepares  to  announce  the  winner  of  the  "Queen  of  the 
Military  Ball"  contest.    Ed  seems  to  be  enjoying  this  "difficult"  task. 


MILITARY  BALL 


Brother  Stanislaus,  the  President  of  La  Salle, 
congratulates  Miss  Mary  Ann  Haas  after  bestow- 
ing the  Crown  of  Roses,  the  symbol  of  her  reign. 


The  Junior  Cadet  Officers,  serving  as  Guidon  Bearers,  and 
the  Color  Guard  stand  at  attention  while  the  names  of 
the  Senior  Officers  and  their  dates  are  announced.  This 
was  the  climax  of  the  Military  Ball. 


Vince  Carson,  the  Philadelphia-born  crooner,  sings  his  hit 
tune,  "My  Possession,"  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Military 
students.

A  variety  show  presented  by  the  Class  of  1956  was  Insti- 
tuted in  1954  and  became  known  as  the  '5  6  Follies.  Co- 
directors  Bob  Rogers  and  Bill  McCaffrey  spent  long  hours 
in  planning  the  colossal  productions  which  have  been  finan- 
cially and  entertainingly  successful  each  of  the  three  years. 
Latent  talent  was  discovered  within  this  year's  graduating 
class  and  it  was  rendered  unselfishly  by  all  who  participated 
in  the  shows. 


Bob  Rogers  and  Bill  McCaffrey  (both 
on  stage),  co-directors  of  the  third 
annual  '56  Follies,  iron  out  a  musical 
arrangement  with  pianist  Rosemary 
Peacock. 


Either  Jules  Budny  is  of  giant  propor- 
tion or  the  horn  he  is  blowing  belongs 
to  a  tot.  Anyway  the  Six  Nosebleeds 
appear  to  be  ripping  apart  the  place 
for  the  audience  while  doing  a  panto- 


It  looks  like  "Miss"  Dewey  Clark  is 
making  a  big  hit  with  the  boys  while 
singing    "Sh-Boom." 


"Charlotte"  DelMarco  displays  the 
latest  in  beach  wear  at  the  '56  Follies' 
fashion   show. 


Jack  Bloxsom  was  taken  by  surprise  in 
the  shower  when  the  sponsor  adver- 
tised tub  enclosures  for  the  bathroom 
during  a  take-off  on  a  teen-age  tele- 
vision   show. 


"I  hope  they  don't  recognize  me,"  Joe 
Kohler  is  probably  thinking  as  he 
models   a   colorful   evening   go-wn. 


To"wering  Jerry  Griffin  seems  to  be  out

The  Quadrangle  provides  the  student 
rctreatants  with  an  inspiring  and

followed  by  sermons,  readings  and 
Benedictions.

The  annual  Lenten  Retreat  is  held  on  the  first  three  days  in  Holy  Week.  The  ^ 
students  are  given  the  opportunity  to  concentrate  on  the  Passion  and  Death  ^; 
of  Christ  and  His  Resurrection  from  the  grave.  || 

Rev.  Mark  Heath,  O.P.,  College  Chaplain,  under  whose  leadership  the 
Retreat  is  conducted,  Vi'orks  efficiently  in  planning  the  complex  and  timely 
schedule.  Father  Heath  adds  a  great  deal  of  interest  to  the  program  by  acquiring 
Dominican  priests  from  various  parts  of  the  country  to  officiate  and  lecture 
at  the  religious  services. 

The  Lenten  Retreat,  an  inspiration  to  all,  helps  recall  the  words  by  Thomas 
a  Kcmpis:  "Be  devout  and  quiet  and  Jesus  will  stay  with  thee."

The  stone  grotto  of  Our  Lady  of

In  April,  1954,  the  Class  of  '56  initiated  Sophomore 
Week  at  La  Salle.  The  above  picture  was  taken  dur-

Park. 


Major  Morris,  a  member  of  the  Department  of  Military

JUNIOR  WEEK 


Bill  McCaffery  gives  the  Junior  Week  crowd  a  few 
good  laughs.  Bill  has  appeared  in  every  Variety  Show 
the  class  has  presented  and  has  been  the  star  in  many 
of  them. 


The  climax  to  Junior  Week  was  the  Junior  Prom,  held 
at  the  Philadelphia  Rifle  Club.  The  night  served  as  a 
fitting  close  to"  one  of  the  most  successful  of  Junior

The  ROTC  band,   directed   by   Joseph   Colantonio,  struts  in   unison   to   the   beat   of   the   dr 
they  pass  in  review  at  the  annual  Founder's  Day  exercises  on  May    15,    1956. 


FOUNDERS'  DAY 


Founder's  Day,  recently  instituted,  is  a  day  in 
honor  of  the  school's  patron  saint,  St.  John  Bap- 
tist de  La  Salle.  The  day  is  full  of  joy  and  color. 
The  entire  ROTC  display  full  strength  in  front 
of  the  Administration  and  prominent  guests;  and 
the  year's  graduating  class,  in  cap  and  gown,  walk 
in  procession   to  the  auditorium   where  academic 


honors   are  awarded  and  many  eloquent  speeches 
made. 

A  High  Mass,  commemorating  the  death  of  St. 
John  Baptist  de  La  Salle,  is  said  at  Holy  Child 
church.  Later  in  the  day  dinner  is  served  to  the 
future  graduates  and  guests. 


The  Glee  Club  adds  sparkle  to  the  Founder's  Day  pro- 
gram by  their  pleasant  harmonizing.  Here  they  are 
being  conducted  by  Father  Sailer,  Glee  Club  director. 


The  administration  of  La  Salle  College  pays  honor  to 
the  school's  founder,  St.  John  Baptist  de  La  Salle,  by 
dressing  in  their  eminent  regalia  and  praising  La  Salle 
College's  patron  saint. 


Administration  officials  and  members  of  the 
Faculty  enter  Holy  Child  church  in  an  orderly 
fashion  to  attend  the  Mass  in  honor  of  St.  John 
Baptist  de  La  Salle  held  on  Founder's  Day. 


Graduates  were  provided  with  a  delectable 
dinner  served  in  the  College  field  house.  The 
long  table  is  occupied  by  Faculty  members  and 
guests   at  the  Founder's  Day  event. 


Faculty  members  and  honored  guests 
occupy  the  Auditorium  stage  during 
Founder's  Day  exercises.  The  ROTC 
band  provided  intermission  entertain- 
ment. Part  of  the  graduating  class  are 
shown  in  the  foreground. 


SENIOR  WEEK 


Miss  Cleland,  the  Vice-Pres- 
ident's secretary,  takes  a 
hard  s-wing,  but  just  couldn't 
hit  the  little  round  thing. 
This  all  took  place  during 
the     course     of     the     Senior 


Manny  Gomez  enjoys  one  of  the  home-made  sand"wiches   his   date   furnished; 
or  was  it  HIS  date?    Manny,  as  usual,  seems  to  be  surrounded  by  young  ladies. 


Ted  Friel  lets  loose  -svith  a  quick  pass  after  being  blocked 
by  Mr.  Swoyer  during  the  Senior-Faculty  game.  The 
Faculty,  with  the  aid  of  that  Old  Pro,  Jim  Pollard,  put 
the  mark  on  the  Seniors  to  the  tune  of  42  to  3  5. 


Never  let  it  be  said  that  Jim  Breen,  (The  Greatest  Lover) , 
even  permitted  a  moment  for  fun  to  pass  without  some  act. 
This  time  "Birdie"  was  dressed  in  a  night  cap  and  robe, 
bouncing  a  ping-pong  ball.  This  was  just  a  rank  at  the 
"Old   Profs,"    prior    to    the   Senior-Faculty   game.
